I got my very first cat when I was 38 -- I had bad allergies when I was in my late teens and 20's and told I couldn't have animals. Then I got tested again when I was 38, and the doc said I wasn't allergic at all, and that did it! When my friend adopted a pregnant cat who had 4 adorable kittens, I just had to have one. So I adopted my precious cream tabby, Theaulait (French for Tea with Milk -- because that's what color he was), and loved him for almost 13 years. When he died, I was almost in a state of panic -- not just because I had lost my little love, but I couldn't BEAR the thought of being catless! So I immediately went out hunting for kitten -- found a drug addict who was breeding moggies for drug money -- and was stupid enough to rescue 3 cats from his house when he was evicted. I gave one away to a friend, but still have 2 of them, who are now 12 years old. Plus 6 others. People think I'm a crazy cat lady, but I'm comfortable with that number, and they are my beloved family! :-)

This is a great place for me!  So glad I just found this group!  : ) I am always on the "I Can Has Cheezburger" site.  And, like you all, I have a love for cats.

@Steph S.  Welcome!  I'm getting a little miffed with Cheezburger...they keep pushing their other web sites, especially MemeBase, and that one is not very funny, IMNSHO.  Another good site is Cats in Sinks...and that's all it is, photos of cats in sinks.

And Maru's videos on YouTube.  I love to see him belly-surfing across the floor in an empty 6-pak box.

Is stuffonmycat.com still around?

Sk8eycat, I will have to check on that Cats in Sinks website and Maru's videos.  Yes, Prog Rock Girl, http://www.stuffonmycat.com is still around -- I just checked it out -- thanks for the tip. : )

I had a cat who one day sat for hours and hours with a checker on his head...

That sounds hilarious.  Hope you took a picture.  : )

"Don't breed or buy while homeless cats (and dogs) die!"

Sk8eycat -- that is good advise.  We all should adopt an animal instead of breeding or buying the animal at the pet store.

Rescuing is also good...all my cats were abandoned by someone else. Actually I haven't gotten a kitten in years b/c there are so many adult cats in need of a home.
